What People Are Saying About iGotThis:

“I love this app and have only had it for a few days!! My son has done chores without blinking and even cut me off mid sentence ‘I’ve got to do this Ma! I’ll be right back.’ WHOA!! I’ve been fighting, grounding, screaming, damn near bribing him to just clean his room. This is awesome!!!!”

~ Laureen A.

“I LOVE it. I totally get it and I WANT THIS APP! I’m SO excited about the potential for iGotThis! I love how it builds responsibility in our kids and supports their developing time management and executive functioning skills while also letting parents off the hook for having to be constantly reminding their kids to do this or that . . . .AWESOME!”

“I believe this app will be a godsend, not just for parents of ADHD kids, but for working moms of all kinds of kids. Think about it: We already do so much—who wouldn’t want a digital ringmaster to help pull off all the acts we’re juggling at work and home?”

~ Susan Wenner Jack

“It’s actually my son that is very interested. He couldn’t wait to show his Dad. 🙂 …He came rushing, “Momma, Daddy didn’t even make it all the way through the video before he said he thinks we should do it!’ …we agreed that when your child, that has ADHD, shows interest in something that could have a positive impact in his productivity and give him control over his progress, you don’t hesitate, you follow that child’s lead and support them in what they want to.”
~April, mom of 10-year-old ADHD child

“My son was diagnosed with ADHD without hyperactivity in the second grade. Even with support it was often a battle to get him to do his homework or complete the things he needed to do around the house. Two years later, I felt like my primary duty had become reminding him what needed to be done and nagging him to do it. In the past we’ve tried checklists. They were helpful but he didn’t find them fun. Experts told us to reward compliance but tracking it was difficult and frustrating. Our efforts to do these manually rarely lasted more than a couple of days.

In the week since we’ve been using iGotThis, the situation has changed dramatically. I set up the tasks in the program and then the app does all of the reminding. The app also awards “tokens” when he starts and completes tasks and gives bonuses when they are started and completed on time. This makes rewarding compliance automatic.

When I heard about iGotThis I recognized the elements that experts encouraged our family to employ. I was hopeful it would be a help but I never imagined the difference it has made for us. Not only is he completing the bare minimum needed to get through the day, he’s been pitching in around the house. He’s asked several times for more tasks because he wants to earn tokens and rewards. Getting homework done and getting ready for bed has moved from an hours long struggle to something that he does with very little parental involvement.

If your family is struggling to help a child with ADHD, an executive function weakness, or a typical case of sporadic irresponsibility, I encourage you to give iGotThis a try.” ~ Brian G

Connect

We designed iGotThis with the whole family in mind, including parents. The truth is that almost everyone could use some help staying on top of things in today’s world and that is especially true of adults. Not only can parents use all the standard features of iGotThis, we also included “Planning Wizards” to set up common tasks like planning for holidays, important events, and important projects in your life. This is going to be a community area where other users can also submit plans that can be shared with others.

Not Just for ADHD

While iGotThis was designed for exceptional kids, it’s also designed to work for every kid in the family. As a parent, you can set up projects, tasks, and/or checklists for all your kids. You can even set up tasks that are assigned to multiple kids (and even spouses!).

Stay on Top of Things

If you hear yourself constantly saying things like “Didja clean your room?”, “Didja do your homework?”, “Didja take out the trash?”, then you may be suffering from “Didjatitus”. This syndrome inflicts many parents of kids with ADHD. All kidding aside, what your kids hear is: “You were supposed to do this thing, but I doubt that you remembered to do it.” and that’s not healthy. Fortunately, there is a cure for “Didjatitus”. iGotThis provides a proactive alert system for parents so you can stay on top of things from afar. Parents have the option, on a task-by-task basis, to be notified when that task is started, completed, and/or missed.

Stop Nagging

“You need to clean your room”, “You need to do your homework”, “You need to take out the trash”. Nagging isn’t just tiresome and frustrating for both you and your kids, it’s also destructive to their self-esteem and studies show it can actually worsen behavior instead of improving it. There is a better way. Celebrities have personal assistants who keep them on track so these stars can focus on being, well, stars. Give your kids the same benefit. Give them a personal assistant to help keep track of things so they can focus on being awesome.

Reward Effort

The iGotThis solution has a built in rewards system that parents can configure to meet their needs. If you want to reward “effort” by giving points for just starting a task you can do that. If you only want to give points for finishing a task on time, you can do that too. Parents can assign points only for specific tasks and then specifically for starting a task, starting on time, finishing, and finishing on time. It’s totally up to you.

Additionally, parents can create their own menu of rewards that kids are able to redeem (and parents approve of course) through the app. You can set up any kind of reward you like, such as choosing what’s for dinner, a new video game, or even cash – it’s totally configurable by you! Kids can see their point totals and decide what they want to work toward and budget their points accordingly. When they’re ready to redeem their points, they use the app to submit a request. When the request is approved, the points are automatically deducted from their account. It just doesn’t get any easier.

Raise Confidence

While self-esteem is about being happy with who you are, confidence is believing that you can succeed. The best way to build confidence is to actually experience success in achieving goals and getting positive reinforcement for doing so. Using iGotThis, parents can start out with a small set of goals (e.g. brush your teeth before bed every night) that allows kids to be successful out of the gate, and then build on those achievements over time.

The app also has a built in “gamification” system where kids earn badges for achieving certain milestones (like successfully completing 10 tasks on time), that further reinforces confidence.
